The Model Trace
We take a look at the model trace at the randomly chosen simulation time 31.8825. At this time Ship#9 arrives and delivers new containers to each bin:

Trains load containers and leave the terminal, heading for the four destinations. After a while, at simulation time 36.0713, the northern bound trains aren't able to obtain their requested number of containers anymore. The same happens to the central bound train directly afterwards. Then the next ship (Ship#10) arrives and frees the trains by delivering enough containers to the storage areas.
